Rachel was playing Chinese chess with grandpa Peter in his study. After two sets, Clark pushed the
door open and came in.
Seeing him come in, Peter put down the chess in his hand and said to Rachel happily, "I'll make a cup
of tea and let Clark play with you."
"Grandpa..." Stunned, Rachel didn't understand why grandpa Peter asked her to play chess with Clark.
However, grandpa Peter got up and left.
Clark sat opposite Rachel.
With a red face, Rachel stood up and was about to leave.
"Chinese chess champion? Don't you want to challenge me? Huh?" Clark's cold voice came through to
Rachel's eyes.
Rachel took a deep breath, sat down and turned to him.
"Fine. Let's compete." Rachel was so angry that she put on airs and was ready to compete with him.
With a cunning smile and deep eyes, Clark began to play Chinese chess with her.
At the beginning, Rachel was full of confidence.
However, her brows furrowed soon after that.
"Hang a wildebeest?"
"Check with a knight? Damn it!"
"Check with two rooks!"
Stunned, Rachel looked at Clark with disbelief! She even did not know how Clark captured her pieces.
By the time grandpa Peter came back, Clark had defeated Rachel completely.
Rachel was stunned. She could not believe that it was a piece of cake for him to defeat her.
She didn't expect that Clark was such a good chess player!
As soon as the grandpa saw the situation, he couldn't help scolding Clark, "You bad boy, how could you
do this to Rachel? Where is your gentility?"
Clark was ruthless. He tapped the board with his slender hand, and every strike seemed to hit on
Rachel's heart.
"Victory or defeat depends on strength. Why should I make a concession?"
Grandpa Peter couldn't help frowning and said, "You're really annoying. No wonder a good girl like
Rachel doesn't like you!"
Rachel was stunned. She did not know what Peter tried to do. When did she say that she didn't like
Clark?
Narrowing his eyes, Clark eyed her from head to toe and asked coldly, "What did you say to grandpa?"
With a wave of her hand, Rachel said right away, "I swear, I didn't say anything!"
Grandpa Peter began to reprimand Clark, "Get out! Don't you know anything about human emotions?
Don't you know whether she likes you or not?"
With embarrassment written all over her face, Rachel sat there. She felt that Peter did this on purpose?
Clark stood up and walked away with a darkened face. It seemed that the atmosphere became
freezing.
He didn't pay any more attention to Rachel from the beginning to the end.
When Clark left, grandpa Peter sat down with a smile on his face, and said to Rachel, "I was just using
a trick. Don't you mind?"
"What?" Stunned, Rachel shook her head and said, "Grandpa Peter, please don't get us wrong. There's
nothing going on between Mr. Clark and me."
But grandpa Peter said seriously, "Love can be developed. I hope our daughter-in-law will be like you."
With an embarrassed smile, Rachel said, "Grandpa Peter, I'm afraid that your wish will not come true."
"No," grandpa Peter waved his hand and said, "I hired a fortune teller for Clark yesterday. The fortune
teller said that he was most suitable to marry a girl like you, because your appearance could make him
more successful!"
Rachel was shocked! How could grandpa Peter have a fortunetelling of her and Clark?
Peter smiled awkwardly, explaining, "Please don't mind it. As a matter of fact, your fame is now at its
peak. the fortune teller just used you as an example.
Plus, I always thought you and Clark were meant to be together. Moreover, Amanda and I like you very
much. If you two can be together, things will get better!"
When she came to her senses, Rachel said with a smile, "Grandpa Peter, I'm afraid you'll be
disappointed."
Peter sighed, stating, "I know, Clark is very stubborn and he really wants to be together with that
woman of the Bai Family. Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable. I won't force you to be with
him."
For a moment, Rachel didn't know what to say.
After dinner, grandpa Peter asked Clark to send Rachel back home.
Along the way, both of them kept silent and thought about their own things. None of them spoke, and
the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.
When they arrived at Rachel's housing estate, Clark handed a file to her.
"What's this?" Puzzled, Rachel opened the file and began to read it.
"An international movie?" Rachel blurted out. She was surprised when she saw the file in her hand.
Against the dim yellow light, his eyes were as black as ink. There was a hint of coldness in them and
his voice was still as indifferent as before. "It's a rare opportunity. You should consider it carefully."
It was an audition event held by Donnie Zhen, an international director. Clark must have spent a lot of
effort on it to get this opportunity for Rachel.
With excitement written all over her face, Rachel said, "Of course I'll try my best at such a good
opportunity! Even if I was not chosen, I would like to witness that kind of scene!"
It was absolutely a perfect chance for actresses to gain their experience. If she was lucky enough, she
would definitely be more famous. If she was not chosen, it would be a good thing to expand her social
resources.
"Since you want to have a try, go back and make full preparation." Clark turned around, hiding all his
expressions.
Rachel was happy, so she didn't care about his cold attitude. She smiled at him gratefully, saying,
"Thank you!"
With the material, Rachel went home happily.
She had never shot an international movie, so she had a lot of preparations to do before she went to
the audition.
With a clear goal, Rachel was suddenly refreshed. She didn't even sleep, and began to watch some
classical international movies, surfing the Internet to replenish information.
She was deeply engaged in work for days, which made Eva very worried.
"My Miss, although your work is important, your health is also very important. Go to sleep quickly. Don't
always be like this. People will get old if they don't get enough sleep. That way, they won't look good in
the audition," Eva couldn't help but try to persuade her.
Hearing this, Rachel seemed to have remembered less sleep would affect the quality of her skin. She
nodded and said, "Okay. I'll apply a facial mask before going to bed."
Eva was satisfied with her obedience. She smiled and said, "I'm going to buy some bones for you to
stew the soup. I promise I can make your skin light up!"
In the next few days, Rachel was busy preparing for the audition. She even turned down Chester's
invitation for dinner several times.
At last, Chester couldn't help but knock at the door, but he was shocked when he saw the scattered
notes in Rachel's apartment.
"Wow, you are really busy!" Chester picked up the notes scattered on the ground and looked at them
with surprise.
With a helpless smile, Rachel replied, "Of course I have to go all out to seize such a rare opportunity! "
"You will surely be chosen since you are working so hard! After all, God rewards the diligent!" Chester
nodded repeatedly to show his approval.
With a smile, Rachel said, "All thanks to your lucky words! But you called me several times. What's the
matter?"
"I came here to tell you something," said Chester indifferently, sitting down opposite her.
"What news?" asked lyndsy, stopping what she was doing.
Chester slightly frowned and took a few seconds to organize her words before he said, "I was busy with
the company before, so I had to leave for a while. I didn't expect that kind of rumor happened to you.
After Clark clarified your relationship on the Internet, the crisis in my company was solved. Then I could
come back."
Stunned, Rachel asked, "Did Clark make trouble for you?"
Chester shrugged his shoulders and smiled, saying, "It's all over now. He has announced Anna as his
fiancee. He will not make things difficult for me in the future. But I'm here today not to talk about it."
"Do you know that the Yan Family and the Bai Family fought each other for the Ji Family before?"
Chester frowned and asked.
Rachel shook her head and became more confused, asking, "I've never heard of it. But how did they
fight?"
Rachel shook her head and became more confused, asking, "I've never heard of it. But how did they
fight?"
